There's a new bee book out. I don't know if it's factually correct, but it's getting good reviews: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/books/review/the-bees-by-laline-paull.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Aw%2C%7B%221%22%3A%22RI%3A8%22%7D&_r=0 http://www.amazon.com/The-Bees-Novel-Laline-Paull/dp/0062331159/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404332416&sr=8-1&keywords=bees On the upside, it's a way to get your reader/non-outdoors friends interested in beekeeping. On the downside, well, it's probably anthropomorphizing (to take an animal and describe its behavior as if it were human) bees and probably misses some bee biology but that's just a guess - don't want anybody getting their expectations too high. From my brief skimming it looks like she does get quite a bit of the bee biology right.
